"I really haven't thought about it that much, other than trying to figure out our starters and where we're going with them," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Hopefully, we continue to get better in that area. If we don't we need to make some changes to our starting rotation. … I'm kind of 'one step at a time' with [Narveson]. When he's ready to go, then we'll see where we are with the rotation."
Narveson will throw another bullpen session at some point the team's upcoming homestand, which starts Monday against the Dodgers. Barring any setbacks, he will then throw a simulated game before starting his rehab assignment.
